Meta-Science

The second pillar is my interest in the vague and broadly defined "meta-science". This is an interest in Science as a field, rather than a specific sub-topic. I am interested in untangling some of the mess that is Science.

Within this pillar, I have a few pieces of writing that I am not yet ready to share (ha!) but I promise I will soon.

I am also working on a big, ambitious project called Paperstars, which will have two approaches:

1 Post-publication review

• A virtual journal club and review site where users discuss, rate, and review papers for quality.
• Goal: Improve the quality and trustworthiness of academic publications.

2 Accessible science

• Targeted towards students and non-scientists to foster understanding and appreciation of research.
• Goal: Increase scientific literacy through accessibility of scientific works which are freely available
